Hardware Tweaks

Video Driver

2D video works out of the box. To enable 3D (and compiz),

  1. go to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. Install "version current" driver (not 173, which seems to break suspend). Reboot
  2. go to system -> preferences -> appearance and change the setting under the "Visual Effects" tab. A "driver search" window may popup - cancel it.

Ultranav (Middle Mouse Button) Scrolling

  • run the command (press alt+f2) "gksudo gedit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf" (for Ubuntu 10.10 this should be: "gksudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf")
  • paste this into the file
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
	MatchProduct	"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint"
	MatchDevicePath	"/dev/input/event*"
	Option		"EmulateWheel"		"true"
	Option		"EmulateWheelButton"	"2"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"false"
	Option		"XAxisMapping"		"6 7"
	Option		"YAxisMapping"		"4 5"
	Option		"ButtonMapping"		"1 1 3 4 5"
EndSection
  • Restart X (logout and back in)
  • If you want to disable horizontal scrolling, remove the line
	Option		"XAxisMapping"		"6 7"
  • The above also disables middle button pasting and makes the middle button act the same as the left button. If you wish to enable it, remove the line
	Option		"ButtonMapping"		"1 1 3 4 5"
